    Password Attack Threat Mitigation


    Here are password attack threat-mitigation techniques:
    Do not allow users to use the same password on multiple
    systems.
    Disable accounts after a certain number of unsuccessful login
    attempts.
    Do not use cleartext passwords.
    Use strong passwords; for example, mY8!Rthd8y rather than
    mybirthday.

    Summary
    Sophisticated attack tools and open networks continue to
    generate an increased need for network security policies and
    infrastructure to protect organizations from internally and
    externally based attacks.
    Organizations must balance network security needs against
    e-business processes, legal issues, and government policies.
    Establishing a network security policy is the first step in changing
    a network over to a secure infrastructure.
    Network adversaries come in many shapes and sizes and with
    multiple motivations.

    enterprise network devices.
    Password attack threats can be mitigated.
    Restrict password use.
    Disable accounts after unsuccessful logins.
    Do not use cleartext passwords; use strong passwords.
